Flood Ordinance


Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance [pdf] Effective on June 16, 2009

ALL locations are subject to flood risk.  Locations subject to flood risk are either in a low, moderate, or high risk area.  It is vital to be aware of the flood risk in order to preserve life and property.  Land areas that are at a high flood risk are called the SFHA (Special Flood Hazard Area).

To ensure that structures will be protected from flood damage, ALL development within the SFHA is regulated by the Building Division through the Flood Damage Prevention Ordinance.

After reading the Ordinance, if you have questions, comments, or need further instructions, please visit or phone the Building Division.
